Morphology

metrological = metrology (transparent) = metrology + ical

Adjective formed directly from the noun 'metrology' by adding the productive suffix '-ical', so the meaning 'relating to metrology' is directly derived.

Etymology

Metrological comes from metrology, which is built from the Greek metron meaning 'measure' and the ending -logy meaning 'study'. Think of the familiar word meter, the unit of length, which shares the same root, so metrological means 'about measuring' or the science that checks measurements.
